just getting any info regarding Fords, NJ. We're looking to purchase a house. Our budget is 250k and have a 9 year old that will go to middle and eventually high school. How is it compared to Avenel and how is it compared to Iselin? Tried to search for some info here but I didn't get any good data. Thanks in advance.

do you know if residents at fords can go to school at either iselin or woodbridge? or you have to go to school in your district?

Every school in the township, be it elementary, middle, or high school, has a specific "catchment" area.
Your address determines the school that your child will attend, and you cannot opt for a different school unless your child has been diagnosed with specific learning problems that necessitate a program that is not available at your local school.

Didn't mention this before, but I know some people who grew up in Fords behind Vintage Vinyl on Rt 1. They went through the public school system and Woodbridge High School. It served them well, and they are all independent and supporting themselves.
